It’s Christmas, Don’t Be Frightened


Hold on, hold on, hold on
The darkest days are gone

It’s Christmas, don’t be frightened,
Don’t be frightened any more
The night feels so dark now
But the light is breaking through

A child lying sleeping
Who was weeping for you
The dark will not beat him
He’ll defeat it for you

Light has dawned today
Rise and see the child of sorrow now

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Your days of fear are gone

It’s Christmas, don’t be frightened,
Don’t be frightened any more

The world feels so broken
But there’s hope to be found
Your pain and your sorrow
Will tomorrow be gone

So rest in the promise
That’s upon us right now
Hope is here today
Rise and see how far his love will go

Hold on, hold on, hold on
The son of Kings is born

Glory
Glory
Glory
In the highest

On earth
Be peace
With whom
He’s pleased

It’s Christmas, don’t be frightened,
Don’t be frightened any more
The world has been waiting
Hope is waking for you
The light is now shining
It is shining for you
It’s Christmas, don’t be frightened,
Don’t be frightened,
don’t be frightened,
don’t be frightened,
don’t be frightened
